Where Voorhees, Gets HIS Jury Eloquence.
WASHINGTON Special.
The Supreme Court library possesses copy
of the report of the trial of General Scklee fos
che killing of Key. The calls for the book
frequent, but those who desire to see it are
rarely gratifed. The reason is that Senator
Voorhees, has had the book out and in his pos.
session nearly all the time for fifteen years He
takes that and the Richardson Trial" out when
Congress meets in the fall, or before that.
Sometimes the librarians get it back the next
summer, and sometimes they don't They
didn't this year. l tried to get look at it tina
other day. and was informed the Senator had it.
On the library book was the memorandum.
'Ch1rge Senator Voorhees, with .Sickfes' Trial.
Sept Is. 1886" He had recently returned the
Richardson Trial" The statement that Mr..
Voorhees, had taken the book out for fifteen
years had from Disguised attorney who had
asked for it once a year during all these years.
and had always been told Senator Voorhees,
has it."
Recently the librarian succeeded in buying
another copy at sale of old books in New
York, SO the pressure may 90 eased up a little
and Voorhees, allowed to continue to carry in
his grip-sack his source of jury oratory.
